For years, Motorola has been applauded for sticking with its near-stock Android MyUX skin. But recently, the brand decided it was time for a change and changed shape to what they call Hello UI. The new skin rolled out with the launch of the Moto Edge 50 Pro just last month. So I decided to take the new shell out for a spin, especially since we already have the device. Is it the new Android skin king, or just a pointless redesign? Let's find out in this Moto Hello UI review.
Moto's New Hello UI: 7 Big Changes, 3 Big Misses!
As soon as you turn on the device, you will see a lock screen like boot animation with a very aesthetic "hello moto" displayed. I really thought the phone booted right into the lock screen. It's good that Moto decided to mirror what the new UI is all about from the home screen itself.
Recently, while Xiaomi ditched MIUI and switched to HyperOS, it didn't cut down on bloatware in any way. You still get to see an ad-infested interface, even on the more premium offerings like the Xiaomi 14. So it's good to see Moto keeping its bloatware-free nature, with only Facebook and LinkedIn coming pre-installed.
However, you can uninstall them. As for the rest, you get those Moto and Google apps. Besides some Moto apps, other apps are useful at the end of the day and I wouldn't count them as bloatware.
